Maintainence Checklist for ATV buggy go cart riders by HH Motor Sports LLC
Battery charging, oil change, greasing ATVs, carburetor cleaning, for your ATV buggy
TIPS
NEVER JUMP THE BATTERY - To keep your battery at peak performance, a 2-AMP trickle charger should be used. We prefer the type with Automatic Shut-Off feature and this can be used all winter. If the battery is jumped, you can fry the electrical system all the way to the stator!
CHECKLIST FOR RIDING
As addressed in the Owners Manual, be sure to check all bolts, nuts, cables, and tire pressure before riding. Check brakes and tire lug nuts. Remove all dirt, mud, debris from underbody and exhaust areas prior to riding. Check air filter is in good condition and oil is registering full. For SS250 models, be sure you have proper coolant in the radiator before starting motor and only when engine is cool. Always wear your seatbelt - these can easily get "caught" under the tires when not in use! It is recommended to use eye protection and DOT approved helmet.
Pre-Drive Inspection and Safe Driving Precautions are listed in the Owner Manual. If you do not have one, go to the drop-down list to download yours.

CHANGING THE OIL
It is important to have good clean oil to maintain the life of your motor. We change out the shipping oil, with 10W40 Amsoil full synthetic. DO NOT OVERFILL. Always check your oil level before riding.
DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL CARB CLEANERS
Please do not use a carb cleaner found in auto parts departments. These are not good for this type vehicle.
USING FUEL STABILIZER
When you are storing your buggy, you can add a fuel stabilizer as the oxygenators in the fuel will evaporate over time. However be sure to run the buggy after adding stabilizer to be certain you will get this mix into the carburetor!
AIR FILTER - ALWAYS KEEP IT CLEAN
When an air filter gets clogged, it can damage your engine. Also after storing it in the winter, check to be sure no varmits have nested around the motor!
FUEL SWITCH & 90 OCTANE
If your buggy has the On/OFF gas switch, be sure to turn it off when not using it. Also to keep your carb clean, we recommend using high octane gas, but it is not required.
